Once the servers came online I logged in and started the grind. After 18 hours, I was level 18 and had to take a break. The game is everything I remember from AION China and my guild is currently ranked #1 on our server. I only got to play a few hours yesterday and was able to get my sin to level 21 before I had to log.
I’ll keep you all updated on my progress through the game and my guild. But the game has been a lot of fun so far and looks like it will be another big hit.
See you all in-game!

This past weekend, I was able to get several hours of leveling in and finished off my warlock. My lock hit level 80 with 3 days 15 hours /played. Not to bad as it’s been a while since I’ve leveled a warlock and it was much easier then I remember. I did spend about 15-20 hours leveling Tailoring and Enchanting at level 70, so 60-80 was about 3 days played. Which so far seems pretty average for ever class, 60-70 seems to take about 1 day and 70-80 is about 2 days.
Funny thing was my guild is still pretty amazed how fast I can level and would message me as I was playing to check and make sure it was me, not some power leveler. Many of them couldn’t believe it was actually me as this is now the 2nd toon they’ve seen me level. Considering I created my Lock on the 14th and dinged 80 on the 23rd that’s pretty good time I would think. I might finish leveling my Shaman to 80 and setup a new 5 boxing team in preparation for the level 85 expansion. But we’ll see… now it’s time to gear up my lock and get him ready for Uld.

World of Warcraft 3.2 is now upon us and a ton of changes has been made. Since I play a Death Knight and I am a DW Dual Wield DK, I’m pretty excited about the changes. There is a new Dual Wield talent added to Frost Tree that when you use your big UF Attacks that your off-hand also attacks with the same attack! This is like a Dancing Sword skill just 50% reduced damage.
There is also another new talent in the Unholy Tree that gives you up to 5%+ damage for 20 seconds after attacking with a Blood Strike. This means you now lead off with Blood Strike to gain that 5% boost, then continue with the rest of your attacks. Interesting changes and we’ll see how much of a change this makes to DPS.
Tonight I’ll be testing out a bunch of different builds and glyphs to see what #’s I’m pulling. Now my toon is pretty fresh and only pulling 3k in 25mans on boss, so we’ll see how much more I can pull out with this new change.

So my gear is horrid but it’s WSG Weekend and I spent all day Sunday playing wow and farmed 50k honor! I’ve also been running WG’s and I’m looking at running a DW spec for kicks. I’ve always wanted to try a Dual Wield spec with a DK but always went with Big 2 Hander.
Last night I ran my first 10 Man Vault with and a good Pug of T8’s. /LOL I pulled a massive 800 DPS on the first round of trash and almost got kicked. So I quickly swapped spec back to my PvE Unholy spec and pulled 2.2k. Not bad with how bad my gear was, but got a couple nice badges and I’ll keep farming BGs, WG & 10/25 man runs.
I’ll keep you all posted how the gearing goes.

So I just leveled myself another personal Toon. 
Of you that don’t know I’m an avid wow gamer and I 5 box. I have a bunch of 80′s on Alliance but rerolled horde a few months ago with my GL. I have 5 80 BE Paladins and wanted to roll a DK on Horde Side. So I started my Toon 2 weeks ago and he took me 3 Days played to hit 80. This is my personal best so far leveling a toon from 55/60-80 even my Paladins took me longer then that and I had 5 of them. /lol
I was able to do 55-70 in about 24 hours /played and then 70-80 in 2 days. I completed exactly 1000 quests when I dingged 80.
From 55-58 I just did the Normal DK starting zone. Then went stright to Outlands and as soon as I hit 68, I went to Northland, I pretty much cleared all ez quests in all zone to hit 80 and soloed a few big group bosses. DKs are really ez to solo most group quests and so it was a breeze. I’m sure I could have shaved off about 1/2 a day maybe more, if when I hit 70, I went back to Outlands and did all of the quests there. I was avg about a level every 3hrs 68-75 and in outlands I was avg 2hrs/a level. So if I ever really want to do a speed run, I’ll have to map things out a little better.
I did not use any extra rested besides your normal logging off in an INN and since my daily hours is limited expect on weekends. I only played about 2-3 hours a night and then a ton on the weekends. I went from 58-7o on my first weekend and then 1-2 levels a night till 80. Now I’m going to gear him up in PvP.
I also did not level any professions and ONLY used Quest items and a HP Kits on my Head, Hands, Chest, Legs, Shoulds, Feet.
See you in-game :p
